In 2011, the US Energy Information Administration at-tributed to Poland Europe's largest reserves of shale gas. This data prompted sudden interest by a number of foreign gas companies. The Polish gover-nment initially strongly supported shale gas frenzy by adopting a neoliberal agenda centred on narrati-ves of national energy autonomy from Russia, and on the image of Poland as a new energy titan, or a ‘new Kuwait’. However in the last two years fluctua-ting tax regimes and difficult geology prompted most foreign companies to leave Poland. Through a series of interviews carried out locally with represen-tatives of oil companies, NGOs, activists and consul-tancy firms, I analyse the crumbling of the Polish energy autonomy dream.
